Class #4: My favorite Album/song

My favorite album of all times is "La Geisha chilena" by Anita Alvarado; I think this is a very important album in the history of Chilean music.

The album have ten songs, and the mostly songs are in Mexican rhythms, like “ranchera” and “corrido”and in “cumbia” a typical Colombian rhythm. 

“La Gallina” (the hen), is the first songs, and also, the first single, and speak about the people who talk about you without worry about their problems, and says the song “they say about me, that I am a slut, but I'm so happy, because I live on my way”; the second “El lunarcito Japonés” (the little Japanese Spot) talk about a little spot that her have in her body, and you have to search it: “La besucona” (the kisser), it’s a song that say when she drink a lot she likes to kiss all the people. “Anita Presidenta” (President Anita) it’s a feminist song, because says that the man will be dominated for the woman, and the man will be on the home making the homework and the woman will be on parties. The album continues with “Mi vecnio” (my neighbor) and “Pero cuesta platita” (But cost money), the last is an autobiographic song, and talks about her prostitution, and then there are the songs “Así soy yo” (I am this way) and “te falta coraje” (you lack courage). And the album closed with “Cazuela con Suchi”, a song that mix Spanish and Japanese (and a little bit of English) and “El Nico”, this song is about a very pretty man that likes guys.

I think the album it’s so complete and so important, because is an autobiographic material, it’s like a documentary of her life and all the difficult things that her lived in the past.
